 I 

 

I'm a resister of classifications

And all the list of societies' possible labels

I'm a medley, a mixture, a collage of colors

A cultural challenge, yet a positive one  

I'm my own integrity within no category

For I don't classify

I'm inventor without having to fabricate

My identity merges and mixes with many

I am not one to point the finger

I'm not about denying

Nor to I have to define it

I'm not about trying to pass

Certainly not an ambiguous

Wanna-be, stereotypical type

That conjures up who is who

Or what they are in life or online

That's just not possible for me

If anything, I'm just another hue of you

I rather would be genuine

Ambiguous shades of grays

Never render a return rate of exchange

That is "I"

I'm no less of one thing, than I am of another  

Life too short to get in tidbits as such

I'm not about trying to be better

Different in some ways, yes as we all are

What I'm about is being all of what I am

For I am a question 

Continually learning...

That is "I"

"If you want to be exceptional, then be the exception. Forget about what most people would do in a given situation, and do what is best, what is right, what makes the most positive contribution. Exceptional performance is the result of exceptional thinking.

Instead of merely reacting to circumstances and events, use the awesome power of your mind to develop a thoughtful, effective response. To be exceptional, be yourself.

You have something valuable and original to contribute to every situation.

 

Exceptional accomplishments are authentic accomplishments. Allow your priorities and your actions to be based on the values, purposes and vision of life that you feel most intensely at the center of your being. Exceptional performance is meaningful performance. Look beyond the temporary and superficial, and put your energy into creating lasting value that serves a real purpose. You were born to be exceptional, to blaze a trail into territory where no one has ever gone before.

 

Choose today, and every day, to let your own unique, exceptional light shine brightly for all to see." ~ Ralph Marston

 

I thought I would post this again as I love the writing so much....
